Chapter 540 - Im Feeling Happy. I Want To Celebrate With You.

When Lin Shuang and Yun Ling arrived at Starlight Plaza, they saw Gu Mang and the others standing in front of the Angel Fountain right away.

There were quite a number of people.

Lin Shuang slowed her pace and glanced over. She said with a dazed expression, “What’s going on? Aren’t we only meeting Little Sister Gu and Gu Si? Why haven’t Lu Chengzhou and the others left?”

Yun Ling frowned and thought for two seconds, “It looks like we will be eating together tonight. I’m really afraid of choking myself.”

Shadow League and Red Flame were going to be dining together tonight.

The world was f*cking crazy.

The two looked at each other and convinced one another to accept the current situation. They walked over calmly.

“Sis, Sister Lin and Yun Ling are here.” Gu Si glanced around in the midst of his game, and saw Lin Shuang and Yun Ling.

Lu Chengzhou and others also followed Gu Si’s gaze. They had met Lin Shuang a long time ago.

Her hair was dyed red and she was wearing a unique blue eyeliner. She was flamboyant and seductive.

They had never seen the man next to Lin Shuang before, however.

Yun Ling was wearing a dark blue shirt with a white crane pattern and jeans. He stuck his hands in his trouser pockets nonchalantly, looking neat.

His eyes were sharp and the bridge of his nose was high. The outline of his face was sharp and distinct.

He Yidu greeted Lin Shuang politely. “Miss Lin.”

Lin Shuang gave him a fake smile.

“Sister Lin, Brother Yun Ling.” Gu Si greeted them softly.

This was the first time that Yun Ling had met Gu Si. He had long heard his name, however. He was excited to meet Gu Si. “This child is amazing! I heard that you are the top scorer in the province. I don’t know what to give you, so I shall send you a private jet.”

Gu Si’s eyes widen when he heard about money and luxuries. “Sure, sure.”

Lin Shuang was carrying a crumpled plastic bag with a black box inside. She threw it to Gu Si. “Open it and see if you like it.”

“Definitely. It’s a gift from Sister Lin Shuang, of course I’d like it.” Gu Si was good at sweet talking.

Lin Shuang raised an eyebrow.

Gu Si took out the box from the plastic bag, and when he opened it, he saw something dark and luminous inside.

Qin Fang glanced at the box in Gu Si’s hand and said in admiration, “That’s a very realistic toy gun.”

Gu Si was speechless.

Although he liked this gun, it was too bold to give it to him like this.

Gu Mang put her phone in her pocket and turned sideways towards them. “What shall we eat?”

Lin Shuang said, “Let’s have barbecue.”

...

They drove off to find a night market with good reviews.

At the barbecue stand.

They caused quite a stir when they arrived due to their good looks. Surrounding people kept glancing over.

Qin Fang couldn’t help it and the corner of his mouth twitched as he looked at the messy food stalls.

The first time he met Gu Mang, Gu Mang had been fighting for the Sleeping Jade. She had made bets worth tens of millions that night.

The previous time they had eaten at World Restaurant, the bill had broken six digits. Now, they were all sitting at a barbecue stand which cost less than 100 per piece.

Only Gu Mang and the others did not care about such a gap.

As soon as Lin Shuang sat down, she ordered a jug of beer, a bunch of grilled chicken wings, and grilled seafood very generously.

Gu Mang did not eat much. She just ordered some fried noodles for herself. The food was served very quickly.

Lin Shuang looked at the shop owner and said, “This will be my treat.”

“Huh?” The boss looked stunned.

Gu Mang, Gu Si, and Yun Ling had long gotten used to such behavior from Lin Shuang. They said nothing.

This was something new for He Yidu and Qin Fang only.

The boss confirmed with Lin Shuang that she was sober and that he was not hallucinating. He left with a look of bewilderment on his face.

Lin Shuang opened six bottles of beer, one for each person of drinking age. For Gu Si, she asked for a can of Wangzai Milk.

Gu Mang picked up her beer and wanted to drink it, but she was stopped by Lu Chengzhou.

“You drank quite a lot at World Restaurant. If you go on, you will get drunk.” Lu Chengzhou looked at her firmly with his dark eyes.

Gu Mang leaned on him and looked up into his eyes. “Of course I have to drink when I am in a good mood.”

Lu Chengzhou didn’t know why she was in such a good mood.

“Aren’t you here for me if I’m drunk?” Gu Mang’s mouth curled up slyly, and her beautiful eyes shone. She looked very attractive. “You can send me home.”

Lu Chengzhou squeezed her fingers and lifted his chin. “Go ahead.”

Gu Mang raised her delicate eyebrows.

Lin Shuang and Yun Ling were really hungry. They chatted with Gu Mang and the others as they ate.

When Yun Ling heard about Gu Mang’s plan to go to Capital University, he looked at her in confusion. “Big boss, are you really still going to school?”

Gu Mang narrowed her eyes slightly and let out a lazy “yeah.”

“What about Gu Si?” Yun Ling asked. “Is he also going to Capital University with you?”

Gu Si’s plans had long been decided, so he didn’t speak.

Gu Mang answered calmly, “He is not going. He has other duties to attend to.”,

Hearing her simple answer, Yun Ling knew that there was something that couldn’t be mentioned at the moment. So, he did not press on further.

He Yidu’s eyes always seemed to be on Lin Shuang.

Lin Shuang felt uncomfortable from the attention and she couldn’t help but stare back. She smiled. “Young Master He, I know that I am very beautiful, but you don’t have to keep staring.”

The others glanced at He Yidu.

With a faint smile on his face, he looked away. “Sorry, I’ll stop now.”

Lin Shuang was silent. Was he admitting that he had been staring at her the whole time?

Lin Shuang rolled her eyes inwardly and didn’t bother to care about what nonsense he was getting at. She simply ignored him and continued to chat with other people around the table.

When they finished, it was almost 1am.

The barbeque stand was packed with people, likely drawn in by the talk of eye popping individuals dining there.

When Lin Shuang went to pay the bill, the boss pointed at He Yidu and said that he had already paid for everyone there.

Lin Shuang was silent.

F*ck! Weirdo!

...

They parted ways outside the barbecue stand.

Gu Si left with He Yidu and Qin Fang. They would be going to Red Flame the next day.

Lin Shuang and Yun Ling returned to their hotel. They had something to deal with in Ming City next morning.

Lu Chengzhou held Gu Mang’s hand and the two walked to the parking area.

Gu Mang’s eyes were drooping and she reeked of alcohol. She was walking rather normally so it was hard to tell if she was drunk or sober.

“Lu Chengzhou, I’m so happy,” Gu Mang suddenly said.

“Hmm.” Lu Chengzhou turned to look at her. “Why are you so happy?”

Gu Mang did not answer.

Lu Chengzhou didn’t ask again. He opened the door and lifted his chin. “Get in the car.”

“Okay.” Gu Mang sat in the passenger seat and pulled the seat belt into the buckle.

Lu Chengzhou looked at her. “You can hold your liquor rather well.”

Gu Mang looked up expressionlessly. Her eyes were purely black and white. They glowed without a trace of impurity. They were clear and alluring.

Lu Chengzhou trembled slightly and his eyes deepened. After a few seconds, he looked away, closed the car door, and went around to the driver’s seat.

When he tried to buckle his seat belt, the buckle wouldn’t lock in place. When he tilted his head to look, he saw that Gu Mang had buckled her seat belt into the buckle on his side.

Lu Chengzhou was speechless.

He looked at the girl’s fair and beautiful side profile. “Gu Mang.”

She turned around, looking calm. “Huh?”

“Are you drunk?” Lu Chengzhou asked in a low voice.

“No.” Gu Mang dragged the word out at the end and looked at him. Then, she said, “I’m really happy today.”

She had repeated the same sentence twice in two minutes. Lu Chengzhou was now sure that she was drunk.

She had even unbuckled the seat belt incorrectly.

He didn’t say anything to her. He fastened the seat belt again, started the car, turned the steering wheel, and drove in the direction of Seal Palace.

Gu Mang slept all the way, but as soon as the car stopped, she immediately opened her eyes. When Lu Chengzhou saw this, he was speechless.

Gu Mang unfastened the seat belt, pushed open the door to get out of the car, and put on her baseball cap.

Lu Chengzhou locked the car, walked over, and held her hand. “We are home.”

Gu Mang nodded. “Your hands are so warm.”

“It is your hands that are too cool.” It was summer and yet it was so cool outside.

The two of them returned to the condominium. Lu Chengzhou unbuttoned two shirt buttons, revealing his delicate collarbone. He rolled up his sleeves a few times.

Gu Mang looked at him silently. Her eyes fell on his collarbone.

Lu Chengzhou bent down to take the slippers from the shoe cabinet. As he moved, the shirt collar opened wider, and Gu Mang had a great view inside his shirt.

Lu Chengzhou put the slippers in front of her and then he asked her to sit next to the shoe cabinet. He squatted down to help her take off her shoes.

Gu Mang stared straight at his neck, thinking about something.

After changing her footwear, Lu Chengzhou got up and said softly, “Go and take a bath, I’ll make you a glass of honey water in the meantime.”

Gu Mang grabbed his wrist, stood up, and said, “I am very happy today.”

Lu Chengzhou paused and turned to look at her. After a few seconds, he smiled. “That’s the third time. Come on, tell me. What are you happy about?”

“Doesn’t matter,” Gu Mang answered.

Lu Chengzhou raised his eyebrow. She was really amusing when she was drunk. He asked, “Then what matters?”

Gu Mang said, “I’m happy. I want to celebrate with you.”

Lu Chengzhou nodded and laughed. He asked casually, “How do you want to celebrate?”

Without waiting for her to speak, Lu Chengzhou squeezed her chin with a warning look in his eyes. “Don’t even think about drinking anymore.”

“Not drinking.” Gu Mang stared at him with her dark eyes.

Lu Chengzhou shook her chin. “How do you want to celebrate? Put on a fireworks show for you?”

Gu Mang stared at his delicate collarbone, and her fingers around his wrist slightly tightened. She said slowly, “Would you like to... fulfill some lustful desires with me.”
